    That last line isn't true. I needed cash this month. I had stock that I felt was going to go up. I still sold it, because I needed cash. Decisions about assets are made in context, not in a vacuum. Arguing that Dozier should not be sold for 80 cents on the dollar, w/o taking into account the context of the entire system and Dozier's contract is, imo, a mistake. (and, I am not arguing you are stating otherwise, btw). It's like an NFL team that has three starting caliber QBs, but the worst OL in football. Keeping the three QBs because the offers aren't "fair" isn't going to lead to many wins, because sports are team events.

    thank you for answering. I have my doubts about 2018, but I am not w/o hope. So many of their hitters can't actually hit, that scares me. Can they get better? Sure. Will they? I hope so. As for the pitching and the manager, sigh.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Sorry....how many losing years should we expect in a rebuild? And, when did they start?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Let's hope T. May is in the rotation, and not the bullpen....

    for some people, the world is not black and white, it's a dial. You can be disappointed in an outcome, and still not think it is the end of the world. Well, I can. Maybe others can't.

    I have 6 accounts. I roll a die before every post to see which personality I use....

    Please do not block young RPs with guys with limited upside. Please.

    KLAW loves Kiriloff, in his writeup he said he could move way up if he hits this year. "intriguing" is that the same as likely future all star? because that's what you are trying to argue against....a starting SS is not an MVP candidate, is he? I don't get how what he said is so wrong, what players do you see as an ACE or MVP, currently in the system in full season ball?
  9. Mike Sixel
    i did. and people said I was paranoid.
  10. Mike Sixel
    better faster than the old one, that should have been clear to someone that wasn't making assumptions about my intentions. criminy.
  11. Mike Sixel
    i was trying to figure out what to do at work for opposite day....and yet, here I am.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd be pretty happy if we formed 2 unions, and all the southern states ran out of money....
  13. Mike Sixel
    for about 70 years now, not on this board.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say it was business as usual, I pointed out that in the past, and so far now, they have not traded veterans for good prospects. I never once said that the new FO was the same old same old, you inferred that from something I never even implied. One can be disappointed in the Twins, and hopeful that the new FO moves better/faster. At least I can.
  15. Mike Sixel
    ok...how many losing years should I expect in a typical rebuild? I mean, if it isn't unusual? No idea why the Twins didn't start sooner, that has been one of my criticisms of the past GM....
  16. Mike Sixel
    looking forward to something bad happening this week, so I don't have to re-live the A bomb debate in this thread much longer..... who else is following the altnationalparks?
  17. Mike Sixel
    As a fan, I don't really care......the Twins have failed. I am hopeful the new regime is better. But, they have two real assets, and both look very likely to start the season in MN. that might work out, it might not. I was talking about the rebuild, not just this FO......clearly I am not holding it against this FO what happened before, and to imply otherwise, sigh. I am holding it against the Twins though....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I still don't get that trade from their end.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I think Stewart is under appreciated. A couple years as a pitcher, and already a MLB starter. I agree, I'd rather have a legit star, but no one offered that for Dozier. Maybe the Twins will get lucky, and a new suitor will emerge, but I find it hard to believe they'll net two number 3-5 SPs for him in the future.
  20. Mike Sixel
    the Astros looked a lot smarter before the rebuild kicked in, imo.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    since I can copy and paste: jimmer 12:30 You seem higher on De Leon than many, I've heard said it's because you say you prefer softer-tossing RHP with good change ups (I'm guessing that means more control type pitchers) than guys with more velocity? Is this the case? Dave Cameron 12:30 I think the history of prospect ratings shows that guys with plus change-ups and command perform better then their rankings suggest, and guys with big velo/breaking balls/bad command/bad performance do worse than their rankings show. 12:31 I don't think De Leon is going to be Kershaw or something, but if he's James Shields, well, then he's going to have a better career than 99% of other pitching prospects, including the ones who throw harder or have nicer breaking balls.
  22. Mike Sixel
    not the twins, but, cheese 12:24 Does the upgrade from Howie Kendrick to Forsyth justify the loss of DeLeon? Dave Cameron 12:24 Not to me. And even without Kendrick, they could have just brought back Utley and platooned him with Hernandez or Taylor. Plus I know Willie Calhoun is odd shaped and maybe can't field, but he's close-ish and can hit.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If they aren't, the team is doomed anyway, probably.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, Mark Appel was pretty much done by the time he was traded, let's hope they Twins don't do that.... It is an interesting list, but you can see quite a few where there were multiple people in the trades.
  25. Mike Sixel
    let's hope you are right, and they sign a huge FA (like they did back when they signed Jack Morris, also not under Ryan.....).
